The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of DOPPELGANGER
#1 from Altrena Comics. The story is written and colored by Jordan Hart; with
pencils & inks by Emmanuel Xerx Javier.
Dennis Zimmann was heading to work when he was rear-ended. He gets out of his car to check on the other driver, but he was dead. Dennis makes it to work even though he suffered a concussion. That night he spent a quiet evening with his family and decides to take the dog for a walk. When he gets back he discovers someone who looks like him is there! The doppelganger gives Dennis dire news and a demonstration of his abilities. Is this a side effect of the concussion, or is he about to be replaced by an evil version of himself?

Mr. Hart has
created a tale that ranks among the great stories from Tales from the Crypt or
The Twilight Zone. You can’t help but feel for Dennis, and Javier’s art does a
wonderful job of conveying the confusion and possible descent into madness that
our hero is experiencing. This is another in a long line of hits from publisher
Alterna Comics. Don’t miss this one!
